Using a Fast Silicon Labs MCU and high quality On-Semiconductor MOSFETs the TrackStar 18A ESC sets a new standard in high quality yet affordable car ESCs. With Intelligent MCU logic the TrackStar series ESCs allow extremely precise start up control and positioning feed back from the motor. Combined with the quality 4 pole motor this translates in to very smooth start up and acceleration and torque.

The Turnigy TrackStar 18A ESC also boasts a host of programing options not usually found in an ESC of this size and can be programmed with ease via the Turnigy TrackStar programing card (sold separately)

Great little power house, I have it hooked up to my 118B
over stock esc the performance is much better with smooth faster response and
with the option of programming.
On the box it tells me 25amp constant not 18 as per ad description

I put this in a LaTrax SST 1/18 truck. Unbelievable performance for the money. Suuuuuper fast on a 14t pinion, but gets hot - on a 80F day, motor measured 160F and ESC measured 130F after a 10 minute run. 13t pinion would be better for bashing and not worrying about temps. (or get the lower KV version of the motor) Not quite drop in - you need to provide your own motor mounting screws, and some dremeling is required on the aluminum motor mount (holes on the LaTrax motor mount are a little too far apart and there's a ridge you need to grind down) Don't bother with the programming card, mine runs perfect on stock settings. I'm running a 2000mah 2s receiver pack - PRODUCT ID: 9210000043 - and with a minor dremel mod to the battery tray it's a PERFECT fit. After a 10 minute run each cell still has 4.0 volts. Top notch!!

This esc and motor combo is the exact same as the toro with a different brand name. this motor works great with the Dromida Rc cars by Revell. it is a direct drop in and it is plenty fast. i have yet to experience any issues with it.

I chose this middle power version (TrackStar 1/18th Scale 12T Brushless power System 5050kv) for my RC18T2 build and I would have taken the lower kv one, but it was out of stock. Quality seems great and price is very resonable. Only time will tell how it handles all the torture I'm gonna put it through.
